Security Guard Biodata Format for Job — Sample, Blank Form and Lines to Copy

A security agency reads a guard's biodata in a fixed order: physical particulars, training, police verification, then the posts you have held. A general job biodata leaves out exactly the lines an agency checks first, so this format puts them at the top.

When this format is the right one

Use it for any guard, gunman, lady guard or security supervisor post with a private security agency, a housing society, a factory, a hospital, a mall or a bank branch. Most agencies ask for a biodata rather than a resume, and many hand you their own printed form at the office — fill that form from this sheet so the numbers match.

Copy-ready lines for a security guard biodata

Copy the lines that are true for you, replace every [bracket] and delete the rest. An agency will measure your height and chest and check your training certificate at the office, so every number here must be one you can show.

Physical particulars — the first thing an agency checks

The Central Model Rules under the Private Security Agencies (Regulation) Act, 2005 set a height of 160 cm for men and 150 cm for women, a chest of 80 cm with 4 cm expansion for men, and far eyesight of 6/6 with or without glasses. States adopt their own rules on this model, so write your real measurements rather than the minimum.

• Height: [172] cm | Weight: [68] kg | Chest: [86] cm (expanded [90] cm)
• Eyesight: 6/6 [with / without glasses] | Colour vision: normal
• Identification mark: [a mole on the left cheek]
• Medically fit — able to stand a [12]-hour shift and run 1 km

Training and verification lines

A guard's training under the same rules is at least 100 hours in the classroom and 60 hours in the field, over at least 20 working days. Ex-servicemen and ex-police personnel take a shorter course — 40 hours classroom and 16 hours field over at least 7 days.

• Security Guard Training — 100 hours classroom + 60 hours field, [training institute / agency], [city], completed [Month Year] | Certificate No. [ ]

Plain text you can copy straight into Word. Replace the values and the structure keeps working.

Section by section

What to get right

• Write your real height and chest, not the minimum. The agency measures you at the office, and a biodata that disagrees with the tape is the fastest way to lose the post.
• Give the training line in hours and a month. It is what the agency must show if its guards are inspected, so it is the line it looks for.
• Mention the site types you have worked — society, factory, hospital, ATM, mall. Agencies fill vacancies by site, not by job title.
• Say which shifts you will take. A guard who can do nights is easier to place, and saying so on paper saves a question.
• Mask the first eight digits of your Aadhaar on the copy you hand over. The last four are enough for identification.
• Sign the declaration in ink on every copy. Agencies file the biodata as part of your deployment record.
